Q

Specific Heat

A

the amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost to change the temp of 1 g of a substance by 1 degree C.
Water: 1 C/g
Ethyl: 6 C/g
Acetone: .51 C/g

Q

What does Specific Heat allow large bodies of water to do?

A

It allows large bodies of water to absorb & store large amounts of heat while changing the temp. slightly. Allowing ocean’s temps to fluctuate less than land.

Q

Evaporative Cooling

A

When people sweat, water molecules are released from the body (the one w/ the highest energy leave) The molecules that are left behind have less energy & therefore cool down.

As sweat evaporates it absorbs heat to cool your body

18
Q

Why is water less dense as a solid?

A

H-Bonding, the orientation of the bonds causes molecules to push farther apart which lowers density

19
Q

What temp. is water densest?

A

4 degree C

20
Q

What happens to the density of water lower than 4-degree C

A

The density decreases.

21
Q

B/c of Water’s expansion it prevents deep bodies of water from doing what?

A

Freezing bottom up

22
Q

As water freezes, what happens to the water below?

A

It gets insulated b/c of the release of heat

23
Q

What factors the seasonal transition of water less abrupt?

A

H bonds breaking absorbing heat & H-bonds forming releasing heat.

24
Q

Solution

A

liquid consisting of a uniform mixture of 2 or more substances

25
Q

Solvent

A

dissolving agent

26

A

substance that dissolves

30
Q

What do water molecules dissociate into?

A

H+ and OH-

31
Q

What do water molecules dissociate into?

A

H+ and OH-

32
Q

H+ + H2O = H3O+

A

Hydronium ion

33
Q

H20 - H+ =OH-

A

Hydroxide ion

34
Q

Acid

A

Increase in H+ concentration
less than pH of 7
More H+ than OH-

35
Q

Bases

A

Decrease of H+ in a solution
More OH- than H+
greater than 7

36
Q

Buffer System

A

Consists of a weak acid & its conjugated weak base

Accept H+ ions when they are in excess & donate them when they are depleted

Dissociate to replenish H+
Reassociate when H+ is too high

37
Q

Which property explains the ability of a water strider to walk on water?

A

Surface Tension

38
Q

3 effects of heat of vaporization

A

Moderates Earth’s climate
Accounts for severity of steam burns
Releases heat and forms rain

39
Q

Ice floats, why is this property so important ?

A

If ice sank , eventually all ponds would freeze over, kill life

40
Q

Why is water such a fine solvent

A

Polarity & Hydrogen Bonds, molecules as large as proteins can dissolve in water as wall as bio fluid, sap & liquid in cells

41
Q

Olive oil doesn’t dissolve in water, explain in terms of hydrogen bonding?

A

Oils are nonpolar molecules, hydrophobic molecules related to oils are a big part of cell membranes & are hydrophobic so the membrane doesn’t dissolve. So for oil to dissolve in water they would have to break some of water’s hydrogen bonds.

Oil is nonpolar because of this in order for oil to dissolve it would have to break water’s hydrogen bonds. Which water will not do so they are separate.

42
Q

Calorie

A

the energy needed to raise the temp. of 1 g of water through 1 degree C.

43
Q

How does water high specific heat contribute to moderation of temp. How is this an important property for life?

A

Water’s high specific heat makes it so that it takes a long to heat up & longer to cool down than the air & land. Which is important to the life that live in large bodies of water who needed a consistent temp. to live.

44
Q

Evaporation

A

liquid water changes to gaseous water
